Happy Thanksgiving!

This week our focus was Thanksgiving. We learned about several different Native American tribes including the tribe that was present at the first Thanksgiving, the Wampanoag tribe. We also talked about the life of a Pilgrim. Our discussion focused on the hardships and details such as the types of food they may have had. We ended our week with a grand finale…. homemade butter! We used heavy whipping cream and zip lock bags to “churn” our own butter! Everyone had a chance to “churn” the butter and every child gave the homemade butter a try! We all thought it was gooooood!




Have a wonderful Thanksgiving

PS. Enjoy the pictures!

  1. We made some here at home too :) We shook it in a jar like Austin did at 6th grade camp. Next time we'll use the ziplock bags. What a fun idea!!! Mrs. Hicks
